TPI dies in drive, wont restart for a few minutes

This is a recent problem (for 2 weeks). Starts fine, drive around for any short length of time (10-15 min) and engine will suddenly shut down during normal driving. After it dies I turn the key, engine cranks but wont turn over. Try that a couple or three times. Then wait for a minute or two. Turn the key and give some gas and it starts right up and wont give any further problems.

This happens about once a day.

Havent changed fuel filter since summer 06. My TPS sensor is new (2 months ago) with a new harness but wires are rigged (i.e twisted together and not soldered/shrunk). I adjusted the fuel PSI to 46 about 4 weeks ago with an AFPR.

Any thoughts?

They are reman'd. I checked a year or so ago and they were all ok on resistance. I will check again this w/e. Anything else?
